Sammy Hagar makes some out-of-this-world revelations with his new autobiography "Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock."

Besides the usual tales of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, the singer also claims to have been contacted by aliens.

Hagar writes in the book that he once saw two creatures inside a spaceship in the foothills of Fontana, Calif., and now believes they abducted him and tapped into his brain.

"[Aliens] were plugged into me. It was a download situation," he tells MTV Hive. "This was long before computers or any kind of wireless. There weren't even wireless telephones. Looking back now, it was like, 'F—, they downloaded something into me!' Or they uploaded something from my brain, like an experiment."

Hagar also had an earlier alien encounter at 4-years-old. "One time I saw what I considered to be, well, at the time I thought it was a car with no wheels," he says. "We lived out in the country and I saw this thing floating across a field, creating this big dust storm. I threw rocks at it… And I don't know what happened after that."

While the former Van Halen frontman is open about his E.T. experiences in his interview, he downplays them in his book because, he says, "I don't want to sound like I'm crazy."

Still, this isn't the first time Hagar has explored the concept of close encounters.

"I have done a few songs that have sci-fi themes," he tells MTV Hive. "There's 'Space Station #5' on the first Montrose album, and then on the second album there's 'Spaceage Sacrifice.'" And on his first solo album, "there's 'Silver Lights' and 'Hot Rocks,' which are about UFOs coming and taking people away," Hagar explains.

"People say there's no other life in the universe," says Hagar. "But you know how big the universe is? It's freakin' huge! If we're really the only ones out there, that's scarier to me than thinking there are aliens."

You really make it appear so easy along with your presentation however I find this topic to be actually one thing which I believe I would by no means understand. It sort of feels too complicated and extremely extensive for me. I'm looking ahead to your subsequent put up, I'll try to get the dangle of it!

This i hard to belivie, why abducted bye aliens. They are more clever than that.
My theory is they are here to study us for good meaning. And they dont wanna infair in our "proplems"
But when we go on the edge of III War they will stopp that happen.

-that's not a very unusual story, and it doesn't only come from "people suffering from delusions of grandeur"...i've heard stranger stories: Uli Jon Roth, usually "connected" to the planets, once got VERY clear instructions from Jupiter, telling him to suddenly change the key to a tune he was playing whilst on stage. Now, just IMAGINE his surprise when the OTHER guys in his band, on stage with him, didn't "get the message" from jupiter! C'mon guys, get WITH it..!
"red"'s a great tale, a very entertaining story & i truly believe that anyone THAT focused can achieve. very inspiring.

ITS COOL ITSS THEE VOID FORR THEE AREEE ALWAYSS LOVEDDDDDDDDDDD THEEE FALLEN MACHOMEN I WAS ONE THEN I ROSE THEN SPR AND MNP NEVER GAVE UP FOR SURVIVAL WEELL NOW IM YOUR BUDDY, MEN WE ARE STARS WE SHINE WITH LOVE AND BRIGHTNESSS WITHHH REPECTTTTTTTTT

This is old news ... he has been talking about this is entire career.
BTW – I just finished reading his book ... it is a fun read and he is a quirky character for sure. He is definitely on a different sort of level, if you see want I mean: Fleets of Ferraris, private plane and multi-million $$ homes around the world will do that to ya.

I believe he rocks best while surfing with the alien. I readaad the book, it's solid read really. Sammy is a cool cat that still writes good car driving and night time star wAtching music. He also cloned Wil Ferrel and made him a drummer with the aliens help (not in the book). Redheads rule!

@ ew You could start your own blog w/ that! How interesting would that be? Peeps can tell their story w/o being afraid, w/o waiting years for fear of what some1 will think. No1 knows who you are, get it off your chest. As for the comments that come back, well, "sticks & stones"! Right!

There are many more people who have had these encounters- but they don't have the guts to report it to anyone – someone close to me had an encounter, and I choose to believe him- it took years for him to tell me- the stigma is amazing

You're friend wasn't visited by aliens, they only think they were. They probably just had a case of sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming. All of these reports, (where the witness believes they are telling the truth), always take place at night, in the dark, in their bed, half asleep, half-awake, fully dreaming.

That is what happens when you become delusional from drugs or alcohol or the mixture of both. Sammy, that is one hallucination you should have kept to yourself. I wonder if you and Randy Quaid may have the same problem?

I thought Sammy WAS an alien! He says says, "I don't want to sound like I'm crazy." Too late!

Why is it that most of the folks who believe they've been abducted have delusions of grandeur? Like, "the aliens chose me because I'm so freakin' special!" Get over yourselves. They remind me of those who believe in reincarnation, all of whom claim to have been someone famous in a past life. Sheesh!

Did he mention what type of drugs he was on at the time of these abduction and visions. Some of the acid from that time frame would allow you to see and hear what ever you wanted or needed. It's a good thing CNN took him at his word on this one.

No cure for cancer will ever be found, because most of it is caused by adding things to your body that make cancer happen. That's like asking for a cure for the acid burn on top of your head, when really all you have to do is ask the guy pouring acid on your head to stop doing it. The key is finding all the bad things and eliminating them. Many are promoted as good things by drug companies and the government so you have to do your own homework. Carbohydrate overdose leading to chronic inflammation is the one big one that should most concern you, because it is hidden, and driven by the corn and soybean industry.
